I was just going to post on this subject. I do not understand the other women I work with. At the work place, I try to be empathetic, respectful and do my work thoroughly. However, there are always issues; small cliques, competing and one upmanship. I feel like I am in kindergarten. I join in the after work get togethers and am interested in the other women's experiences and share my own. I am losing patience and withdrawing. It's like a damned if you do and damned if you don't. I feel like resigning but I know I will come up against this in any other job. If I try to hang with the guys, gossip starts...help

What to do?
